Name one flaw in this truck.
You mean no offroad? no tow power?
>If you look around only 1-5% people use a truck to tow and offroad.
Honda knows it's customers and is doing the perfect thing here. You get the comfort of a crossover, clever engineering(all way open-able truck lid, in-bed storage), etc 99.99% of truck features, fuel economy like no other truck has, etc.
>Protip to my question : You can't.
Odyssey with less seats and a useless truck bed.
gg honda.
>>15438668
Literally everyone I know with a truck uses it for offroad or towing or other actual truck stuff
>>15438714
Yup, it can do reasonable offroading too.
>>15438668
Only retards off road pickup trucks with their godawful breakover angle.
I actually like this Ridgeline, too bad 4wd isn't standard anymore.
>>15438668

The short bed is useless, might as well get a Pilot.
Here's a flaw:
It's not an actual truck.

>europoor diesel cuck
Nothing you say matters to anyone.
Its a car made to look like a truck so people with vaginas can get around
>>15438774

I saw a ridgeline with a cube container of water in the back once
That poor ridgeline was so overloaded
>>15438668
>4 wheel independant suspension
>truck
Its a crossover with an open box on the back. Make no mistake, its very good at being a crossover with an open box, but its fucking useless as a truck.
>>15438782
You were talking about fuel economy, right? So shut your mouth and kneel before your european diesel masters.
>>15439842
So having independent suspension makes it not a truck?

>>15440015
Among other things, yes. Independant front is fine, but the rear end needs to be able stay in contact with the ground.
>>15438668

Maybe in the suburbs where you live.
Closer to 95% in my neighborhood.
My lawnmower has more ground clearance than that "truck".
Most of the U.S. is rural.
I own acreage, it would cost more to pave my driveway than it did to build the house you live in.
In the rainy season, that truck would have to park at the road- it would never make it up to my front door.
>>15440398
Do you really need a rock crawler to make it to your front door? I really fucking doubt it
honda is poop
>>15438668
It's actually perfectly acceptable for everything the average truck buyer needs, but as people in this thread proved the average truck buyer is an idiot with a room temperature IQ
I look forward to picking one up for cheap when it inevitably fails and dealerships are desperate to give them away
>>15440018
It has the same towing capacity as a specced up Colorado
>>15440394
If it cant haul a load over basic terrain without a wheel coming off the ground all the god damn time, it's not a truck. Is it useless? No, but its not a truck.
Trucks originated as farm equipment, it ought to at least be able to fill that role before you can call it a truck.

I went up an icy hill in an Accord on worn all season tires, if you manage to get stuck on wet grass in a Ridgeline you're doing something very wrong

Anyway new the ridgeline has gvwr of 7k can tow like 6k lbs you stupid fuck. it's a decent mid sized truck.

Which is hauling the groceries home which can be done better in a van or suv they already sell

Can you option a Ridgeline out to 60k? His isn't even a Platinum.
>>15440686
Or car parts like an engine
>>15440686
majority of towing is less than 6k lbs, which is what it's rated for, so yes it's perfectly fine.
need a truck to haul yard shit, engine shit, a van or suv (lol idiot) can't compete.
>>15440695
Talking about the price of base models. Ridgeline base is more than an f150 base.

A base f-150 is an actual truck, the ridgeline is just a SUV masquerading as a truck.
If someone needs actually needs a truck, then they are getting an F-150 or other equivalent.
>>15440863
Very few people actually need a truck, they just want one, and the people who want an F150 are sure as hell not going to buy a base model

>>15440896
>50 yen has been deposited into your account

>Fleet sales aka fake sales to crony corps and govt agencies that will ship them to el queda specifically for the purposes of inflating sales figures
>>15440950
>>15440953
They can sell base models to commercial buyers without offering them to the public. Why offer them to the public if no one buys them
>>15440976
Because "Starting at $20k" sounds better than "Starting at $30k"
>>15440423

/out/ had a nice thread the other day of anon in (Wyoming?) Whom had the roads washed out for about 30 miles around him.
He had some good pics of the "road" washed out with 2 foot diameter culvert pipes blocking the way. He spent all day making his way to an old neighbor and then into town to report to the sherrif.

So with four people onboard, you can put about four hundred kilo in the tray. What the fuck? That's not even a cubic meter of cracker dust or soil, or an IBC of water or fuel, or even four barrels of lube oil.
At least the AWD is rated GCM wise to tow 1.8T. Which is funny as it's 'rated to tow 2.26T', but GCM won't allow it. Fuck me Honda.

Body on frame is not a requirement for being a truck except for in your autistic mind. I don't even care about this truck, but you're a fucking retard if you think it's somehow 'not a truck'.
>buying a unibody "truck"
So is this basically a Honda mini van ute?
>>15441822
Full frame has been a standard for ages. Hondas new crossover will haul a mean soccer team though.

bwahahahahahahahahaha
>>15441840
>Full frame has been a standard for ages.
Full frame? What does that even mean? Body on frame being around for ages doesn't somehow make it the only option. The higher strength/lower weight is such an obvious advantage unless you need to replace the bed, which is something very few people do outside of fleets.

The Colorado has a full frame, higher tow rating, stick shift and better economy. All for less. And it is rwd or 4wd and not a modern fat Volkswagen caddy.
>>15438668
It's not available as an EV.
If Honda made an EV Ridgeline with at least 200 miles of range for under $40,000, I would probably choose it as my next car.
I really like the new Ridgeline.
>>15439842
>>15440015
The only benefit to independent suspension.
Why would someone even want to buy a pickup? If he's not a redneck or toilette cleaning slave ofc.
>>15438668
The reason you don't see trucks offroading is because you're on a road, and the reason you don't see towing is because people don't tow 100% of the time, and their truck is their DD as well as their work horse.
Seriously, trucks are REALLY useful, and you can't just have a SUV with a cut back being a truck. I need a truck, otherwise my CRV is just going to die one day.
>>15441724
Honestly Colorado ain't a bad truck.
My teacher owns one, but he has standard but long bed cos he actually hauls shit. V6, and all that it's from 2012 or so idk.
Anyway, it's basically a mini sierra, and it works really well as a truck. It can go off road, off road in a reasonable fashion, not a trail or even a worn path but not some CRAZY ROCK CRAWLING MUDDING EXPERIENCE or whatever.
But it's not a truck you should buy if you have the money to spec it up, it's better to just buy one of the 1/2 tons.
Also i wish dodge brought back the dakota, it was a nice truck.
>>15441847
Body on frame also has the advantage of not fucking up the body if you tow. It's the MUCH stronger frame taking all the load and it also helps cos you can have a REAL frame mounted hitch or maybe a plow or whatever.
Can't do that with unibody.
Though i guess it's OK cos anyone who buys a ridge line isn't doing any real work anyway.
>>15441895
I would imagine a EV truck would lose a significant amount of range if you had anything more than a bike in the bed. Not to mention towing
>>15441943
Fuck a payload, they lose 60% of range in anywhere below 0.
>>15441928
This generation of Colorado is based on the last generation 1500 series with the v6 as the top engine. You might as well buy it over the ridgeline since they get identical mpgs with a v6
>>15441859
I'm not sure what your line of reasoning is, there.
>>15441872
I'm not defending the Ridgeline specifically, I don't care about it.
>>15441928
>Body on frame also has the advantage of not fucking up the body if you tow.
You might be towing incorrectly.
>It's the MUCH stronger frame
I don't know why you are under the impression that unibody cars do not have frames...
>REAL frame mounted hitch or maybe a plow or whatever.
...since that's what they will have a hitch receiver mounted to.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised /o/ is full of people who don't know anything.
>>15438697
You mean, an Odyssey that a normalfag can call a "truck" instead of a "minivan". To your average idiot, that distinction is more important than both of the features you mentioned.

>Butthurt honda fags
It's people like you that make people give me looks when i roll in my car. And that sucks cos i love my CRV.
But no really, your pilot can't handle that trail when it gets wet. And for that same reason your Ridge line can't handle it either.
My crv has the same clearance as the ridgeline, and i've taken it down dry game trails because i lack the money to buy a real truck. 8 inches simply isn't enough, the number of things that hit my underside. Also all the shit i had to go around. I had a Ram behind me and a wrangler in front, so i wasn't in too much risk.
Ridgline simply isn't a truck, it's a SUV with the rear cut out. It works fine as a kid hauler and city crawler, but it wouldn't be able to do half of what a real truck can do.
>>15440547
>Any idiot in an economy car can drive on this
I hope you don't seriously believe that. You need at least AWD to even try to tackle that. Some wheel will get stuck and the other 3 will get it out, and then one of the other tree gets stuck the other work. With 2wd you're just digging holes once you're stuck.
>>15438668
Because it's shit at being a car AND it's shit as being a truck. So what is it? Definitely not a ute.
>>15441943
It would have to have a very high capacity battery.
I think people would be more accepting of a little (or a lot) extra weight from a bigger battery in a truck.
>>15443531
I can't tell if you're trolling or if you're genuinely retarded.
Even a Prius can handle a dry dirt track without a problem.
I just imagine you're the kind of person who takes your AWD/4WD nonsense on a dirt track, and then leaves his car dirty for a month so he can brag about how he went off-roading.
>>15443564
Unless you drove right in the tire tracks of the previous car, or you're on packed earth, you are at high risk of getting stuck in something. And if it so much as gently drizzled in the past hour or two, you're getting stuck.
And nice meme.
I drive a 99 CRV, with part time 4WD, and part time is simply not enough when one of these trails gets wet. I've had to be dragged around by my friends jeep or ram multiple times because when wet some of these roads that look like a Prius could do to people who've never done them, get treacherous as fuck.
You need at least full time AWD if you want to be comfortable. Lockers would be what you need after a couple hours of rain.

You've been forcefed all a truck should be BUT, not all a truck can be. Independent suspension does keep all rear tires on the road whether it's loaded or not.

Not to mention with a proper full size truck you can pop your tailgate off and forklift a pallet right into that bitch.

That's why the tailgate opens like this

>"Oh no a flat tire!"

>he doesn't clean and inspect his spare as part of routine maintenance
And yet the ridgelines bed still needs to be emptied.

Don't talk abut things you know nothing about
It perfecly represents the truth of the modern truck. Truck guys can't accept what modern trucks really are. The ridgeline shoves it in thier face.
It's like satire really.

>>If you look around only 1-5% people use a truck to tow and offroad.
So 95-99% of people only have a truck because "muh truck"?
>>15450215
Yes.
>>15450046
Because that's the same thing.

>Bigger than a TacoRado
>Can't into offroad
>Only tows 5000k
>Starts are $30K
I'd be impressed if this "truck" was much smaller and cheaper...there's no reason for this to be as big and expensive as it is.

Thats actually handy but jesus you hope the gomper on the forklift is good. It needs to swing out just a touch more.

Last time I checked semis towed 99% of their life. Absolutely the same.
>>15440110
thats how you know its good
>>15451163
Yes a semi truck is absolutely the same as a pickup truck. There is no other reason there are no unibody semi trucks other than unibody being bad for towing.
